Small arms and edged weapons

[Spitfireace]

One of my favorite guns left by the Germans after WWII, a luger dated 1916, all matching numbers.

On my bucket list of guns.

It's a lot of fun to shoot and very accurate. What's really impressive is taking it apart and seeing that there is not a smidgen of play with any of the parts. Very impressive firearm for sure and can't believe that someone sold it to me for $70 about ten years ago.

That’s insane. Probably 2000 here. Prices dropped a bit when the Berlin Wall came down as a ton of them were in east Berlin, but prices have bounced back.

Italians make good repros of historic pistols for some reason.

They started by making them for the spaghetti westerns in the 60’s.

Do Norway firearm laws allow you to possess a handgun? Or is it decommissioned?

Yes, as long as you are an active member of a pistol-club. However, after getting whichever gun(s) you want, nobody really cares whether you're active any longer as long as you pay your dues.

Same as Canada until we banned pistols.

We can still use them. Can’t buy and sell them right now.

Some of my other toys. The 1860 Army is the Colt Signature Series, amazing finish.

Don't think the same will happen in Norway thankfully. Even after the occasional incident involving handguns, no politician has as far as I know suggested stricter gun-laws.

That looks like my smith and Wesson 66 357

Makes sense. Strict gun laws do not in of themselves stop gun shootings/crime.

Ours will be reversed if the election goes the way I hope. This was all Trudeau. Of course we all know that criminals pay to take a course to get a license for restricted weapons and then legally buy them and register them with the RCMP

Cap and Ball need a special focus on how much time you need to load it etc. I give you credit for the effort.

then go and shoot them in gang wars.

Certainly not when 90 percent of our gun crimes are with illegal smuggled guns.

Definitely a lot more work. Cleaning too. Black powder is very corrosive. But it’s fun. Had a really fun black powder shoot at our club once. At night, new army colt in each hand. Lots of fun.

As far as I can tell, it's an 8 3/8" barrel 629.

 

[Spitfireace]

Heavily corrosive. If you take the time, why not?

 

[Spitfireace]

I just have a Ruger 9mm. SR9.
